Formed in 1959, Somerset Football Club,
originated from ex-pupils of Chase Boys
School, in Enfield. They joined the Edmonton
Youth Saturday League and for the first two
seasons propped up the league unable to win
a single fixture. In 1961 the club applied
for and was accepted into the reputed
Enfield Alliance Football League. Somerset’s
dismal lack of success continued and again
they waved to the rest of the clubs from the
bottom of the division. There was a marginal
improvement in the next season when they
progressed to fourth from bottom. Some would
say that was the equivalent of winning the
league. Indeed the club didn’t come away
empty handed that year as they won the
prestigious award of ‘Sportsman Trophy’
given to the most sporting team in the
Alliance League. Somehow being chosen from a
league of over sixty sides seemed at last to
inspire the players, and did mark a turning
point in the clubs success, when the
following year they won promotion to
division three. The club in successive
seasons progressed to the premier league
winning many cup competitions although never
winning the premiership title. In 1975
Somersett were invited to join the V & E
Youth Club Centre at their present site in
Goffs Lane, Cheshunt. An ambitious youth
policy was quickly established which was
later enhanced in 1982 when Cheshunt Rangers
FC merged with the club to form, what is now
the back-bone of the current side although
there was one further major change to come. |
